Start a mysterious island
Chapter 951: The Old House in the Mountains (Two Chapters in One)
Just as Li Ziming was complaining in his mind, the very old man in front of him asked, "Are you here to discuss business with me?"
"Yes." Li Ziming nodded and admitted directly without beating around the bush.
"Please sit down." The very old man raised his right hand, pointed to the single sofa next to him, and invited Li Ziming to sit down.
Because he didn't know much about the person in front of him, Li Ziming was still a little wary. At the invitation of the other party, he slowly came to the single sofa and sat down.
"Tea or coffee?" The very old man stood up and was about to go to the kitchen to pour a drink for the guest.
"No need to bring me something to drink, I'm not thirsty right now..." Li Ziming saw that the other party was trembling, as if he would accidentally fall down in the next second, so he quickly stopped him.
"Oh." Seeing that the guest didn't want anything to drink, the very old man sat down again.
"Did Mr. Xu give the wrong address?" Li Ziming thought in his heart.
After this moment of contact, he felt more and more that the old man in front of him was unreliable.
"Who introduced you?" The very old man picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, spit the tea leaves back into the teacup, and then asked.
"Master Xu asked me to come."
"It's him! We haven't contacted each other for a long time. I heard that he suffered a big loss and was seriously injured before."
"..." Li Ziming pursed his lips, thought quickly, and then said with a smile.
"The rumors are false. Mr. Xu was not seriously injured."
"It turned out to be a lie." The very old man looked at Li Ziming meaningfully, and then he did not continue to talk about this matter.
"I usually get off work at nine o'clock. If you were a few minutes late just now, you would have to wait until tomorrow to come here to see me."
"Because the weather outside was affected by the typhoon, the road conditions were very bad, so I almost couldn't get here in time..."
"It's quite late. Old man, I also want to go home and rest early. Please tell me what Mr. Xu told you to do." The very old man stopped talking.
"Damn. This bad old man finally stopped wasting my time." Li Ziming muttered in his heart, and then explained his purpose.
"Mr. Xu asked me to come to you because I wanted to trouble you to deal with someone."
The very old man nodded slightly, not surprised by this.
"If the person he wants me to deal with is from the Black Crow Organization, I'm sorry that I can't take over this business..."
Obviously, this very old man does not want to get involved in the battle between the Blood Fang Organization and the Black Crow Organization, no matter how much money he offers.
"The person we want to deal with is not from the Black Crow Organization, he is just an ordinary hunter of exotic beasts..." Li Ziming quickly explained, and then handed over a piece of paper information he carried with him.
The very old man named Qin Liuhe was a member of a killer organization. After reading the paper information, he couldn't help but admired it.
"This young man just graduated from college this year. He has already reached the second stage of preliminary cultivation at the age of twenty-two. His cultivation talent is incredible!"
Li Ziming waited quietly for the reply. In fact, the judgment on the cultivation level in this paper document was not accurate.
The other party will definitely have to investigate in person afterwards, so it doesn't matter if it is written as the second stage of preliminary cultivation.
"It would be fun to kill such a cultivation genius." Qin Liuhe said with a smile.
Li Ziming's scalp went numb after hearing this. At this moment, he realized that the elderly man in front of him was not as kind as he seemed on the surface.
"One and a half million." Qin Liuhe quoted.
"Isn't the price of a second-level initial practitioner one million?" Li Ziming asked.
"Such a cultivation genius is very likely to be hiding his clumsiness. Your information says that he has the first stage of the second stage of cultivation. In fact, his cultivation level may be in the middle of the second stage. As long as you have 1.5 million, it is considered a friend's price... ..." Qin Liuhe said.
"Uh..." Li Ziming was speechless after hearing this. At the same time, he praised Mr. Xu for his ability to predict events.
"If it works, pay now. If not, I'll get off work."
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you right now."
Qin Liuhe reported a bank card number, and then Li Ziming performed the operation on the spot and transferred 1.5 million to the other party.
"Ding."
The phone rang, it was a text message notification from the bank.
Qin Liuhe saw an extra 1.5 million in the account, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Have you received the money?" Li Ziming asked.
"Received." Qin Liuhe responded.
"Then when will you be able to complete this task?"
"It depends on when the other party goes to the wilderness to hunt exotic beasts."
"Okay, you guys need to think of a way to do it as quickly as possible."
"Don't worry! We are professionals and have a good reputation after so many years."
Li Ziming nodded, then stood up to leave. When he was about to open the door, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Take this."
Li Ziming turned around and saw something flying towards him, so he quickly raised his hand to catch it.
When he opened his hand, he saw a small card with only a phone number and nothing else, not even the simplest address written on it.
"This is it?" Li Ziming asked doubtfully.
"This is my assistant's contact number. Sometimes I have to go to the hospital to get an intravenous drip and it's not convenient to answer the phone. If you need anything to see me, just call my assistant's number," Qin Liuhe said.
"What? Intravenous drip?" Li Ziming was stunned after hearing this, and then he looked at the other person's old age and felt that it was reasonable.
Old people often have physical problems, so they go to the hospital for treatment more frequently.
What is the intravenous drip? Many elderly people often do it.
Qin Liuhe didn't say anything else, and raised his hand to pick up the teacup.
His meaning was very obvious, serving tea to see off the guests, so Li Ziming left consciously.
"Hu..."
The moment the door opened, the wind outside rushed in and hit Li Ziming.
"Bang."
Li Ziming closed the door, and when he looked back, he found that the lights in the room went out.
A spiritual energy wave flashed, and then there was no movement in the room.
"Did he use supernatural powers to leave?" Li Ziming muttered to himself.
The wind outside was too strong, and the place where he was now was relatively open, so the force of the wind blowing on his body became stronger.
Li Ziming is a cultivator, although he will not be endangered by such a wind disaster.
But due to the wind disaster, some messy things flew at me, making me dirty, which was a bit unbearable.
After a while, the roar of the car sounded, and Li Ziming, who returned to the car, fastened his seat belt, turned the steering wheel immediately, and turned the car back to the city.
Suddenly, Li Ziming remembered something. At that time, Mr. Xu San said that when the matter was done, he would call to report when he left.
So, Li Ziming drove the car to a place with less wind, and then immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket to call Mr. Xu San.
"Beep..."
After the call was dialed, Mr. Xu San answered the call within a few seconds.
It can be seen that Mr. Xu San was also waiting for this call.
"How is the matter going?"
"It's done."
"Very good, wait two days, if they still have no news, call them to inquire about the progress."
"Yes."
"Also..." Master Xu paused, "I have an important matter to deal with next, if you don't have anything important to report, don't bother me."
"Yes."
After a few simple words, Master Xu hung up the phone.
"Huh..." The pressure on Li Ziming disappeared immediately after the phone was hung up.
Just now, he was very curious and wanted to ask Master Xu what important matter he was going to deal with next.
However, because he was afraid of being scolded for talking too much, he didn't dare to ask.
The car started again and returned to the city in an orderly manner.
Everything went well on the way back, and Li Ziming returned home safely.
"Dinglingling..."
Just after returning home, Li Ziming was pouring water to drink, and the mobile phone in his pocket rang.
Took out the phone to check and found that it was a call from his trusted subordinate Zhang Xiongjie.
"Hello?"
"Brother."
"What's up?"
"Nothing important, I just wanted to ask if you want to have a midnight snack."
"I'm not hungry now." Li Ziming said with a smile.
"Well, I won't disturb your rest then."
"Wait a minute."
"What do you want, brother?"
"Have you made any progress in investigating the traitor?"
"No progress at the moment."
"Continue investigating, and report to me as soon as you find the traitor."
"Yes." Zhang Xiongjie responded, and then he casually asked, "Brother, has Mr. Xu Sanye urged me about this matter?"
"He urged me very hard before, but he called me tonight and it seems that he is not as urgent as before to find the traitor." Li Ziming said.
"What's going on?"
"It should be because he has something important to do recently, so finding the traitor has been put on hold for the time being."
"Important things to do? Then you, brother, will have to work hard again."
"Master Xu San has no intention of letting me participate at the moment."
"This... should be only temporary, and you will definitely be allowed to participate later."
"I hope so!"
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Zhang Xiongjie's face disappeared, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was very serious.
From the conversation just now, he learned that Master Xu San had something important to do, which made him have to be vigilant.
Next, Zhang Xiongjie needs to find a way to get more information.

Many abandoned old houses are located in the mountains and forests in the suburbs. In the past, many people lived here, but later the city developed and the residents moved away.
"Huh..."
"Swish..."
The wind was howling, and the trees in the mountains and forests were shaking violently. When the big trees with lush branches and leaves were shaking, the sound of branches and leaves colliding was very noisy.
"Boom..."
The thunder that had stopped for a long time exploded again, and the silver-white lightning flashed across the sky, instantly lighting up the mountains and forests.
The sound of the plants shaking and the loud noises produced by the thunder and lightning intertwined, constantly echoing in the mountains and forests where few people went.
Suddenly, a hunched figure appeared on the dirt road in the mountains and forests.
Looking at his back, you can tell that this hunched man is old.
Now that the typhoon has landed, the weather has changed suddenly and is getting worse.
It is not suitable to go out in such bad weather, let alone an elderly person, who should not appear in this uninhabited place at this moment, which is really weird.
"Boom."
The thunder and lightning in the clouds fell from the sky and disappeared not far from the old man.
Anyone who encountered this scene would be shocked.
However, the old man looked calm and his mood did not fluctuate at all.
"Every time I come to this mountain, I have to walk such a long distance. My old bones are a little bit unable to bear it."
Qin Liuhe muttered to himself, and his seemingly shaky body was able to withstand the strong wind and walked forward steadily.
Half an hour later, a relatively intact abandoned old house appeared in Qin Liuhe's eyes. The moment he saw the old house, his figure flickered and disappeared in an instant.
The next second, Qin Liuhe appeared at the gate of the old house.
"Crack."
Pushed open the big iron door and walked in.
Qin Liuhe stepped on the cobblestone path, entered the yard, and walked slowly towards the old house in front.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Qin Liuhe raised his hand and knocked on the door several times. Footsteps sounded in the dark room, and then the door in front of him opened.
The person who opened the door for Qin Liuhe was not a human, but a scarecrow.
"Can't you come and open the door for me in person? Old man, I'm old and my heart is not good. If you scare me like this, I might faint on the spot."
Qin Liuhe complained with some dissatisfaction. The scarecrow in front of him said nothing and moved away.
"boom."
The moment the door closed, the lights in the room came on.
Qin Liuhe followed the scarecrow to the living room, where he saw an unconventional young man wearing a black T-shirt and multiple earrings sitting on the sofa, smiling and saying hello.
"Mr. Qin, I haven't seen you for a month. You seem to be younger."
Qin Liuhe came to sit on the sofa opposite the young man and said angrily.
"Cao Yi, you kid, stop flattering me. I'm very thirsty now. Please pour me a cup of tea."
"Wait a moment, I'll pour you a cup of tea." Cao Yi said with a smile, and then he glanced at the scarecrow standing aside.
After a while, the scarecrow returned with a pot of tea in his hand and poured Qin Liuhe a cup of tea.
"call……"
Qin Liuhe picked up the tea cup and blew on it, then took a sip of tea.
"Bah, bah, bah."
"Is this tea expired?"
Cao Yi thought about it seriously, "I think I bought this jasmine tea five years ago.
I drank it two or three times after I bought it, and then I kept it. "
"You..." Qin Liuhe was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"Mr. Qin, wait a moment, I'll give you new tea." Cao Yi apologized quickly.
He really didn't mean it, because he rarely drinks tea, so he made such a mistake.
"No, let's talk about business." Qin Liuhe raised his hand to stop the scarecrow when he saw that the scarecrow was about to leave to make a pot of tea.
"Coming for business?" Cao Yi had a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes." Qin Liuhe nodded, "This time the target may have a second-level mid-level cultivation. You must take it seriously and don't be careless."
